It’s the last day in January! How are those New Year’s Resolutions going? If you’ve fallen off the bandwagon, this is your giveaway. Nourish Snacks is the best. I’ve tried other healthy snack subscriptions, but I was always disappointed in the flavors (aka lack of flavors) and I found out there was some sneaky unhealthy things…
Today I had the pleasure of visiting The Cary Collection‘s showroom… which is actually Thomas Cary’s apartment. But it’s really not as much an apartment as it is showroom, as you’ll see. I was overwhelmed by the amount of collectibles, in an absolutely positive way. I was quite literally in awe at everything. And it…
This week was pretty centered around the blizzard that wasn’t was! Garrett and I ended up having to come home from our ski trip early and my trip to visit my friend Alison was canceled because the trains were done. The good thing is that the city wasn’t hit that hard at all… and we…
Truth be told, I’m a little taken aback by the fact that it’s almost February. Hello?! 2015 is already flying by!!! I will tell you one thing, Valentine’s Day gifts are just too much fun. I think they can get cheesy when it comes to significant others. (I got Garrett his favorite sour cream doughnuts…
Jaime from The Prepary has written another amazing post tackling a HUGE topic… resumes. With the new year here and February coming right up, I know there are some readers out there thinking of starting the search for a new job or starting the application process for an internship. (I do think it’s always valuable…
Hope everyone is staying warm and safe today with this blizzard! Garrett and I cut our trip a bit short and came back to NYC early yesterday morning to avoid travel delays. Definitely plan on staying inside and snuggling up with a book or two. (Actually, I have tasked myself with backing up my entire…
Maxie is back today with some great advice about new situations. I’ve been finding myself in more and more situations where I don’t know anyone (on trips, at the yoga studio) and, while it used to be one of my greatest fears, I’ve been embracing it with an open mind. Maxie provides some great, tangible…
I can’t remember what blog post it was, but someone commented wanting to see a picture of what I wore when I walked Teddy. I loved that suggestion and thought I’d share what really happens. Especially now that it’s cold out, I dread (I mean really dread) that moment when Teddy pounces on me to…
Jet Set Candy introduced themselves to me over email and I have to admit, I fell head over heels in love with the entire collection. The line is meant to be collected, something that I absolutely love, and was created to reinvent the travel souvenirs. I really recommend taking a look at all the jewelry…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
